Scott gained a love for the automobile at an early age, restoring antique and American muscle cars. His first taste of German Engineering came as a BMW motorcycle, and it wasn’t long until he and Patti obtained a BMW 525. Soon interest in the Audi Quattro began and Patti lost no time horse-trading, first for a lovely 2009 A4 Cabriolet, followed by a 2013 Q5 3.0, a 2011 S5 Cabriolet, and a 2013 S5 Cabriolet. Needless to say, we were hooked and Scott began his search for the perfe...

Since middle school, I had always dreamed of one day owning a fast, high profile sports car. Originally, I had my sights set on a Dodge Viper with a roaring v10 and racing stripes! Shortly after high school I began my real estate career, and I set out to build an honest business and achieve those dreams. It was right around this time that a new model, the Audi R8 V10, caught my attention. You couldn’t miss it in Marvel’s Iron Man, and from that point on, I knew that this would be the car...

We met in Houston during the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. We are originally from Chile, but Texas has been our home for over 25 years.  In the middle of 2014 we started shopping for new cars and visited many brands' dealerships throughout Houston.  But there was something about the Audis: their look, comfort, space, the “feel” and “handling”, the technology, the power, and of course, the safety.  We were sold!  In December 2014 we became Audi owners of a 2015 A4 and 2015 Q7. ...
